Question

If you have 2 shirts 2 jackets and 2 skirts how many outfits can you make

Answer 1

Hello!

If you assume that with each outfit you must use at least one of each shirt, jacket, and skirt, you have a 1/2 chance of selecting one of each. Since it is a compound event (an outfit), you will multiply each singular probability (shirt, jacket, skirt) together.

$\frac{1}{2}$·$\frac{1}{2}$·$\frac{1}{2}$=$\frac{1}{8}$

You can make eight different outfits.

I hope this helps!
